i think that's 12 hours of work well spent
Q: What's happening?
A: In short, massive mix of console scripting magic and simple coding. The result is a 64MB mess of 2193 files (frames of the original video, at 10fps) that recolors each crate to its respective color.
Q: Is this a SourceMod plugin?
A: No! Believe it or not, it's entirely vanilla!
Q: Why is the music quality so poor?
A: It's being micspammed in-game, with a not-so-great-quality voice codec completely ruining the entire music (for you nerds out there, yes, the convar is set to vaudio_celt_high).
Q: Are you aware of the desyncing?
A: I'm highly aware! And unfortunately it's difficult to fix it. The way I can cycle through the video frames on those crates is by using "wait" command, and it's an unpredictable mess. It's part FPS dependent, part on it's own. Alternatively I could've used timer entities, but they'll easily crash my game due to the hardcoded limit of 2048 edicts.
Q: Teach me your tricks.
A: No I won't. I need a coffee break.
